4.3.4 Parameter setting request (Slave devices)
(1) Function
This request is used to set slave devices parameters in the DN611 scan list. This 
request can be issued only when the DN611 is in standby mode.
Up to 10 salve devices can be set per parameter setting request.  As the set slave 
devices parameters are stored in the non-volatile memory of the DN611, it is not 
necessary to execute this request each time power is switched on unless the slave 
devices configuration is changed.  When the slave device parameters in the non-
volatile memory are identical with the slave device parameters newly requested, the 
requested parameters will not be written in the non-volatile memory.
If the slave device configuration is changed, delete the slave device parameters from 
the non-volatile memory, then register new slave device parameters.
Slave device parameters can be set in the non-volatile memory of the DN611 up to 
300 times.
(2) Diagrammatic representation (Function block)
(3) Description of operation
(a) When REQ input is TRUE, the slave device parameter setting request for the 
module specified by CH, UNIT, and SLOT is processed.
(b) PARA_SLAVE is explained in the next item.
(c) After processing the slave device parameter setting request, DONE is turned TRUE.
(d) If the slave device parameter setting request is not completed in a specific time (4 
seconds per slave  device x No. of slave devices) due to an error or the like, ERR 
and DONE are turned TRUE.
(e) Completion status is output to STATUS.
(f) If REQ is FALSE, both DONE and ERR turn FALSE.
(g) When this function block is started (when REQ is turned TRUE), keep REQ 
TRUE till DONE becomes TRUE.
